I gotta say, I had no idea what to expect from this cosmic adventure. But it exceeded all my expectations. We're gonna witness some seriously cool characters and mind-blowing visuals that left me in awe. This group of characters are a bunch of misfits, and seeing how they came together to save the galaxy was absolutely epic. And surprisingly emotional!

#GuardiansoftheGalaxy #FirstTimeWatching #MCUreaction
As someone who lost their mother to cancer when I was four, that intro scene hits harder then most can really imagine.
I'm sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences 🙏
I'm sorry, Ray.
I never watch that scene. I seen the movie countless times & have watched reactions even more times & I always turn my head. I only seen it the original time in the movie theaters. I went through something similar with my mom
For sure cried when Groot saved everyone, honestly I think it was Rocket's reaction as much as anything. He spends the whole movie being this coarse, sarcastic A-hole, then to hear him break down while pleading with Groot not to do it was really moving.
Honestly, agreed. We see a more vulnerable side of Rocket and that’s really moving.
when Groot said "we" instead of "i" i got a lump in my throat and tearing up
without giving any spoilers....after seeing Gaurdians 3...this makes even more sense why he would have this reaction
mask is for translate also@@CristyReacts
@@musicandmoviefan92171 million %. James had this all figured out from day one of writing all 3 moves. Rocket the hero
Rocket's "everybody's got dead people" rant is my favourite moment in the MCU. Truly words to live by.
I don't think it's been mentioned yet, and some people seem to get confused by it, but Groot did actually die in the film. The "baby" at the end is his son. It's never really explained in the movie but James Gunn talked about it in an interview a few years back. Cheers from Florida.
Someone else told me and it broke my heart!!! So, Groot really did sacrifice himself for the team?!?! *cries more*
Yes, that's a new Groot.
@@CristyReactsyeah I still cry every time.
I think what clicks for me with Groot in particular [and in guessing for a lot of people] is that he's just a pure soul; he's a ruthless killer when he or his friends are threatened, but he still has a kind of innocent quality about him.
You can hear and see his emotions in every varied delivery of his 3 word line thanks to Vin Diesel's surprisingly nuanced and emotive VA performance and the incredible work of the VFX team.
Others have already expressed similar sentiments, and I'll join with them now: the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are my favorite standalone series of films in all of the MCU.
@@CristyReacts even if James Gunn talked about it, I've never accepted that it's Groots' baby. Rocket did not plant a seed from Groot. He planted an actual piece of Groot, ( ie; a branch!) and that's what was growing in the flower pot.
As an alien tree lifeform, Groot also can grow faster than Earth trees.
*Spoiler alert way below.
As evidence in GofG vol.3, Groots' head is completely separated from his body and he just rapidly grows a new one.
@@RandomPau Look up tree propagation, in which trees are grown from branches of other trees. His body was decimated in the blast when he took the full damage to protect the others. There was nothing to grow from. No body to grow a new head. Also IF your example were to hold up, then there would be no need for Rocket to have planted the branch. If it were the same as your example, he could have just regrown a new one immediately there right after we saw him blown up. Why didn't he do that like he did in Vol. 3? Because he couldn't. Because he was dead.
You know a movie's gotta be good when you go from excited to laughing to crying and back again. Great reaction as always, Cristy!
Thank you, friend! It really did take me on a journey!
James Gunn is an amazing director who can make you laugh one moment and tear your heart out the next. I'm excited to see you on this journey through the MCU.
And yet his "Suicide Squad" film is almost as terrible as the original. [/OT]
@@Jessica_Roth I disagree, if only for the fact it contains 100% less Jared Leto. His Joker looked like it fell into a vat of Hot Topic.
@@ValerianBajak I did say "almost".
@@Jessica_Roth That's a pretty hot take. It was easily better than the first and almost as good as the Guardians movies to me
That's our Groot: making people cry for almost a decade! 😊 I'm so glad you got to Guardians of the Galaxy! All three movies are fantastic, and this is one of the best trilogies you will watch. There's action, humor, fantastic music, great characters, and SO much heart!! If you think you cried during this movie, you're gonna need an entire box of tissues for GOTG 3.
Oh, and always, always, ALWAYS watch MCU movies through to the end of the credits. Loved your reactions!
I'm gonna have to swap the roll of TP for a proper box of tissues lol!!
Who would have ever thought that a tree saying, “WE are Groot!” could be so impactful? 😭
After all of these years, still the second most cry-worthy line in the MCU! The first is still ahead of you (but no spoilers!!).
So, di you see baby Groot dancing at the end? That kind of cheers people up.
Fun fact: James Gunn, the director of all 3 Guardians movies, is now the co-head of Marvel Studios' rival company DC Studios. Theme-wise he said DC will not be the same as he did for the Guardians but formula-wise like introducing lesser-known characters he will do.
This movie always gets me crying at least a couple of times, and one of them usually has me smiling at the same time.
The characters in this movie have translator implants which is why they all understand each other, and why it sounds to us like they are speaking English.
Josh Brolin plays Thanos, BTW. This is one of my favorite MARVEL movies also. ❤
Thanos is full CGI, but his movements, and facial expressions were done with motion capture. The actor who voiced, was mocapped, and who's face Thanos' was slightly modeled after is Josh Brolin.
Who also plays a character in Deadpool 2... and who Deadpool, 4th-wall-breaker that he is, calls "Thanos" at some point...
Good ups.
"You know what ol' Jack Burton says at a time like this?"
"Who?"
Fun fact about Groot, he's technically one of the nobility among his people, so the cool stuff he can do is a function of his royal nature.
The tesseract , the eather, the mind stone, the time stone , the power stone , and the soul stone
Great reaction! Fun Fact - the "baby" Groot we see at the end isn't actually the original Groot, but is instead original Groot's offspring.
"Why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?!"
Every hero you are going to meet is based on a comic version. The details may vary but they are essentially the same
26:30 Yes, at least 99.99% if not all characters you see in all of the MCU are all directly from the comics. They are not 1:1 adaptions though - enough things were changed that it was unpredictable and new for even the biggest Marvel comics fans
If you react to enough MCU movies, eventually fanbois will appear to complain how the movie ruined their favorite character...
To answer your question about everybody speaking English, after the group is arrested and the officers are explaining who each prisoner is, if you look closely when they're on Peter Quill you will see Enhancements: Translator Implant In Neck. Everybody has one of those implants so you can speak your mother language whilst everybody else is able to understand you whether they know your language or not.
oh so interesting!! Do they explain that at some point?
They don't explain the translator (at least from what I can remember) that's why I told you, if something is explained down the line I won't tell you so you can experience it and learn it yourself :)@@CristyReacts
I think why this is my favorite is because of the found family of the team and the humor! James Gunn did an amazing job with all three of the GotG movies.
Groot: “Famil- umm… I mean, I am Groot!”
Great reaction, and yes the Guardians of the Galaxy was a successful comic book series that ran through the mid 1970s with Rocket Racoon and early Starlord.. Love your open hearted empathy for the characters.. You are a very nice person..
The 1970s Guardians of the Galaxy were a different team which included Yondu. None of the characters from the current team were members.
This newer Guardians of of the Galaxy team with Rocket, Drax, Groot, Gamora, Starlord etc made their comic book debut in 2008.
Starlord existed as a character long before he joined the Guardians. I used to have a graphic novel written & drawn by John Byrne about the original Quill. He was quite different from what we see today.
I used to have Marvel Premiere #4, the comic where Star-Lord made his very first appearance, but I lost it in a move. I originally bought it for $1, and if I still had it now (assuming it was still in mint condition, which it was not, even before I lost it) I could get several hundred times that price for it.
@@Caseytify they actually came back to Quill's roots recently, trying to interpret og ideas in the newer setting. in Ewing's run, if i'm correct. There was a whole sun-lord storyline, but i was too focused on the shit going down around it to really focus on it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Fun Fact: when Quill drops the orb, then recovers it, that is a genuine fumble & recovery on Pratt's part. He stayed in character and Gunn liked it, so it stayed in the movie.
I don't know if he'll ever appear, but Xandar is the home of Nova, originally a member of their Nova Corps, and later a Marvel character.
Funny thing is that Saldana is really a trained dancer. 😄 She was also cast as Lt. Uhura in the 2009 remake of Star Trek.
Whatttt? I'm gonna rewatch that to see if I catch it haha!
The director cast a weeping willow as Groot on purpose. 😉
Guardians of the galaxy all three for me are the best
19:25-19:34 that is Michael Rooker he was in The Walking Dead played Merle Dixon,a complex character though, but he’s played good guys too I think you’ll love him as Yondu in the MCU
Anyway wonderful ❤ reaction Cristy, stay safe
Actually comics are made for different readers. Guardians of the Galaxy was popular for a small group of readers but not on the XMen or Avengers level. Everything you see in the MCU is either directly taken from the comics or mashed up or altered in some way to fit the story. James Gunn took huge liberty in changing these characters but made a fun and enjoyable movie series
Just to expand on this, you're right. A Guardians book may be more odd/trippy or funny while the X-Men was more of an allegory for the Civil Rights movement. Spider-Man is about a superhero that deals with very down to earth and relatable problems while also having superhero problems.
Hmm I think y'all are right. And I'm glad that Marvel didn't just run with their most popular characters, but also invested in their lesser-know guys.
The blue guy, Yondu, is played by Michael Rooker. I met him at a Comic con once. He was very nice, and so funny.
As hard as it is for many to believe, Guardians was a big risk for the MCU because you’d be hard pressed to even find comic readers that read the books. Marvel Studios held a 15 minute preview to try and build hype.
I didn’t need to be sold on it, but it absolutely didn’t hurt. I got to see it on the Thursday sneak screening and it couldn’t have delivered more.
Oh cool! Yeah it feels a little out of their norm, but the risk for sure paid off!
Groot is an awesome character and so is your reaction. Thank you.
2 of the actors in this movie were in the movie called, Days of Thunder.
25:08 "She's alive."
I've heard that it's possible to survive exposure to the vacuum of space for 30 seconds.
Thanks, Cristy, enjoyed another one. Groot is an older Marvel character from November 1960 (before the superhero rebirth). Groot first appeared in Tales to Astonish #13 (Nov. 1960). This was during the Scifi/monster comic era. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gotg_2.jpg. Looking forward to next week.
Should you watch the Matrix!? Sweet baby jeebus, yes! Greatest movie ever!
Thanos is played by Josh Brolin who was Brand in the movie, _"The Goonies."_
Another great sci-fi comedy to check out is The Fifth Element (1997)! ✌🏼
also any character can be connected to and be relatable whether their a human, robot, and an alien of some kind
love this one the most out of this group also We are Groot
"I like Stilwell."
"I like Groot."
There's a pattern emerging. Everyone you say you like in the first 30 dies. Lol.
Omg you’re right!!!😫😫
I wouldn't be surprised if this franchise ends up being your favorite of the MCU movies too. There's just so much heart in all 3 of them. Whenever you get to it The Suicide Squad from 2021 does something similar to this movie. Also making you fall in love with an unknown cast of characters but from DC instead of Marvel
"I think this is my favorite movie in the MCU."
"Oh yeah? Without a spoiler, tell me why."
"Without a _spoiler?_ 🤔'I am Groot.'"
Groot is not a tree! WE are Groot!
im a die hard guardians fan, been one since vol.2 came out (i've read, watched, played anything that has gotg in the title, including the books, the cartoon and spin off star lord podcast) and you won't believe how happy i am to see someone connect with Groot over any of the other guardians. He's an amazing character with so much potential and James Gunn - as great as his work is - kinda screwed up with Groot's characterization. It's good to hear people still can see past the blatant cash grab and Groot's marketable looks and connect with him on emotional level
14:22 never realized after watching this many times and watching countless reactions that Rocket was in this scene….lol
I cried during this movie the first time.
Then every time I watch a reaction I cry 2 more times at least. It's just way to well done. The crying actually gets worse then the first time.
I was not prepared to cry like that! But now I know better lol
No spoilers, but it’s the third GOTG that makes me cry. I seriously don’t think I can watch that film again.
I’m interested to see if Cristy gets that far with the MCU films.
The scene where Quill tries to hand The Collector the orb, Chris Pratt actually does it by mistake. James Gunn thought it was funny and kept it in.
Oh!! I'm gonna rewatch now!!
The tree made us all cry :)
4:15 - Fun fact, roughly a third of men, when faced with their imminent death, still cry out for their mothers.
That's the real triumph of this movie. Any other MCU movie is pretty easy to get someone excited about. Guy in a flying metal suit. Super soldier made in a lab. Literal god from mythology. But this one has a raccoon and a tree? It's incredible how they didn't just make it a movie you could enjoy but make you get seriously emotional about a tree who has one phrase. It's not my favorite MCU movie but it's an amazing watch.
Drax will grow to be a character you will love, I'll bet. I'm a little behind so I'll see soon enough.
Drax is DEFINITELY one of my favorite characters ever!!
that's the beauty of Marvel, they can tell a story so well you can still connect with a sentient tree.
So glad you're taking this journey. The next film is where things REALLY start to connect. You're going to be blown away when you see where this all goes.
"Should I watch The Matrix?" Yes, you should, but maybe later. You could watch a few comedy movies like Airplane and Ace Ventura, too.
Love your reaction. YES! Watch the Matrix!
Bradley Cooper is Rocket, Josh Brolin is Thanos & that’s Michael Rooker who plays Yondu, he was in the first season of Walking Dead too. and yes to Matrix & Footloose
New sub, welcome to the marvel universe even tho you already seen the 1st avengers movie you will most likely enjoy the rest of the movies also....when rocket said i didnt ask to be made....keep that to memory you will know the meaning in the future. Great reaction cant wait to see the rest!
Thanks for the sub! Yes, when he said "i didn't ask to be made" it really made me sad-- what a true reality for a guy who is called a freak all the time. :/
technically thats Groots son
I'm excited for your Marvel journey!! Keep it up!!
Thanos is portrayed by actor Josh Brolin. He does the voice and motion capture. Thanos is full CGI but they purposely made Thanos’ face resemble Josh Brolin.
I watched you're reaction to this movie and the 2nd. You really need to do one for the holiday special and then guardians 3. The story of this team is absolutely amazing
Thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy, I have a favorite taser song.
Great reaction Cristy! Yes on the Groot costume for Halloween! 🎃Rocket Raccoon showed up in the pages of The Incredible Hulk way back in 1982 (Hulk confused, grrr). Yes, James Gunn's amazing soundtrack album hit #1 on the charts in 2014 and stayed there for 11 straight weeks. It was the first #1 album consisting entirely of previously released songs! See you Monday for BTTF 3!! 😀
The name came from a Beatles song, Rocky Racoon. Bill Mantlo changed it from Rocky to Rocket to make more SF-y.
The Matrix is essential 🖤🌹🖤🧛
Please watch the Matrix trilogy. Yes I connected with Groot (aka tree), by the way Vin Diesel voices Groot.
Hello 👋🏻. The actress playing Peter’s mom also played a girl in the first Captain America movie, one that kiss him when Carter came into the room. So, Steve could be Peter grandad😆
Don't worry, there's baby Groot. It's Vin Diesel's voice (both Groot and baby Groot)
As far as I am concerned there is nothing wrong about crying for a tree or plants they are living beings just like you or all of us and it also means you have a good heart and feelings💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍
right!! im with you!
[didn't scroll down far enough initially to set that someone else already told you the first part]
You're still right to mourn Groot; he did in fact die protecting the rest of the Guardians during the crash.
Like some of earth's plant species, Groot's species reproduce asexually. The Groot you see growing in the flower pot is the offspring of the Groot we saw through most of the movie.
Also, while Groot can only say a few words, his species communicate largely telepathically. Members of other species can learn to understand him; they just need to spend enough time with him for the link to be made.
This is why Rocket understands what he's saying when nobody can. They only just met him
Josh brolin is the actor who voiced thanos
Thanos' actor is Josh Brolin, from Goonies. (And No Country for Old Men.....and True Grit.)
Oh, 2 and 3 will make you cry A LOT
Yes, Rocket and Groot are in the comics.
19:55
My Twilight Zone PTSD kicks in.
The big blue alien in prison who gets a nose job from Groot is actually voiced by Nathan Fillion. Too bad it’s been altered so much you can’t tell
Groot is voiced by Vin Diesel.
@@genny5309 in multiple languages
I can't wait to see you see Lyla!
Masterpiece Comic movie. more to come. ❤
"This tree made me cry" -- Now we have proof that Groot is part Weeping Willow.
Marvel Lore FYI: Groot's language is based on vocal inflection and not on words. Technically, Groot did die. At the end you are seeing Groot, son of Groot. Parent Groots pass some of their "life learnings" to their offspring genetically, but the offspring have a personality of their own.
Yes, all these characters were in Marvel comics. There are some changes in the MCU. For one thing, in the comics it was Thanos that killed Drax's family and not Ronan.
3:51 "Why are they doing this to us so early in the _movie?"_
They're introducing a necessary trait about this particular character. The most compelling heroes have traumatic loss that they have _overcome._ The most compelling villains have traumatic loss by which they have been _consumed._
Obscure is correct. I’m a comic reader and I did not know who Rocket Raccoon was until Marvel VS Capcom 3. There were several characters my friend and I couldn’t place so we looked them up and next thing you know Rocket becomes my favorite comic character ever
He IS a pretty awesome character.
Yes, I cry EVERY TIME, me, a grown man!! Yes to The Matrix 1000%
Yes squared to watching Footloose. The original, not the lousy remake.
Cristy, you didnt show the end credits scene, with Howard the Duck, he had one of the first marvel movies, Howard the Duck (1986) by George Lucas, who made a movie called star wars
Hey, found your channel a little while ago and have been having great fun catching up with your MCU series and your other content; you've already made some great choices. I add my vote to the others encouraging you to watch the Matrix trilogy, you won't regret it!
I guess it's only been 2 months but it's still hard to believe you only have 5.5K subs so far - you get great views on your content and deservingly so! You are a natural to this and extremely fun to watch, and you (or your editor) are doing an awesome job with the video quality. Best wishes for the future, hope you have all the success you wish for and that you keep giving us great reactions 😁
CRISTY ARE GROOT 😭
Great reaction matey, don't worry everybody cries over Groot
I'm crying too 😅. Not only the collector. The dog & the duck would be back ❤
Really glad you loved this one! Like I said, while Avengers was really good and phase 1 helped set up a lot. I think Winter Soldier and Guardians is where the MCU was able to let go of its shackles and really delve deep into genre esc. films (Winter Soldier - political spy thriller. Guardians - Comedy space adventure and you'll see it as it grows.) Cool tid bits - The right-hand man of Yondu, Kraglin is James Gunn brother, Sean Gunn. He also did the mo-cop(motion capture) for Rocket, not just in this film, but for future films. James Gunn did the motion capture for baby Groot at the end. Vin Diesel even recorded "I am Groot" in other languages for the film.
Hey friend!!!! i love the tid bit about Vin Diesel:) how's the channel coming along?
The matrix, hell to the yes!
Bradley Cooper did a great job as Rocket.
thanos and hulk are done using mocap
aka the actor wears a suit filled with dots and they transform their acting mixed with cgi
it's also how a lot of video games are now made, it's not just voice actors it's people acting in mocap suits transferred
and yes, they are all in the comics
The awe and fascination I see in your eyes is so inspiring. Love it.
🥹🥹🥹thank you
i love it so much, when you enjoying the movies with drinking some wine :D
6:05 "Should I watch _The Matrix?"_
😯Oh! _Absolutely!_ It probably won't be as paradigm shifting for you as it was for me, but _you'll love it!_ It's sequels I'm kind of lukewarm on, even though their special effects, if you can believe it, were _orders of magnitude_ better, but they're not as good. _The Matrix,_ though is awesome.
Another awesome reaction! On your poll , yes to Footloose, yes to the Matrix!! Classic movies!! Both films rank among top 10 of their decades.
The entire Guardians arc is epic.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an emotional roller coaster
Loving ur reactions 😊
Thank you 🥰 hope you stay to hang around! Lots of more cool videos coming:)
Michael Rooker (Yondu) wasnt in much before this but he is known for playing one well known bad guy for at least 3 seasons on The Walking Dead as Merle Dixon
I first noticed him in Days Of Thunder.
In a world breaking down between Team Captain and Team Stark; I am Team Groot.
